Child Deprivation and Neglect

Almost anyone can allege that a parent or guardian has neglected a child. Mere allegations are not necessarily true. When a noncustodial parent, a school, or even the Department of Family and Children Services (DFACS) makes child deprivation allegations, you should consult us.

The state of Georgia takes allegations of child deprivation extremely seriously. A parent may lose their parental rights if found responsible for these allegations. Child deprivation takes a variety of different forms including physical, emotional or sexual abuse, lack of supervision, unclean living conditions, lack of medical care, inadequate food, and corporal punishment. We represent parents accused of child deprivation, focusing on reuniting them with their children.

Juvenile Law and Delinquency

Children sometimes make mistakes and exhibit poor judgment in their actions.

Juvenile court is where juvenile delinquency hearings are heard. When the state accuses a child of a delinquent act, it is important to speak to an experienced juvenile law attorney. For 15 years, we have been defending the rights of juveniles accused of a delinquent acts such as drug possession, theft, drunk driving, speeding, property destruction, minor consumption or possession of alcohol, and assault.

If you have questions about juvenile law, child deprivation, and juvenile delinquency contact us at the law firm of Jody A. Miller. We represent clients throughout Georgia including people in Carrolton, Decatur, Lawrenceville, Jonesboro, and Marietta.
